Ninety nine hundredths of all our

Of former ages. We have made no
gains in morals, and none in the

has been al advance; SO also in me-
chanics and labor snving machines.
We have also advanced IN our knowl-

BELLEVUE, Ia.
THURSDAY, :::::::::::::::::::::GAI u, 1887.

The principle remains unimpaired
that there should be as little inter-
ference % possible on the part Of the
State with the liberty of the citizen.
The burdens laid upon the individual
should beas few and as light as pos
ible. They should be strictly con-
fined to the lawful, necessary pur-
poses Of the government As little OF
thswages Of the poor should be taken
in the way of taxes as possible. As
light burdens rs possible should be
placed upon property.
Taxes, in the end, however levied,
fall by natural law upon consumers,
and consumers always make up the
vast majority. The rich man actually
consumes bat little more than his
poor neighbor and he is very much in
the minority in all lands. Taxes on
raw material follow the material
through all the channels of industry
and are eventually paid by the con-
sumer,- the poor man, the ordinary
citizen: Taxes on every article Of
comfort or necessity follow the arti-
Gle through all the course Of trade
until it is paid eventually by the con-
sumner. Taxes on business, taxes of
every sort have eventually to be paid
BY the ordinary citizen, who is in the
nature of things a poor man, and
they should therefore be confined
strictly to the absolute necessities of
the government The largest posi-
Blu iadiyidnal liberty, the greatest
possible freedom from the burden of
taxation should be allowed every citi-
zen, and it is this which the Demo-
cratic party ever seeks to secure.

State Press Comment.

Louisiana Journal: The South
viii not favor protection so long as
agriculture remains the controlling
industry Of the South, and this will
be the case for many years yet. if not
for oil time.
Shreveport Times: There will be
no party disruption; there will be a
square fight on square basis in the
State convention, and the nominee of
that convention will be the next Gov
ernor of Louisiana
The Colfax Chronicle puts this
query: IF we can only have one
half of term of District Court when
we have two Judges, how many terms
of Court conld be expected IF the
number of Judges were increased to
four?"
Louisiana Journal: The harmony
scare has been used for all tbs worth.
A candidate will not be able to walk
into the governorship on the harmony
issue. The people know that they
have right to their choice and they
will not be frightened or fooled out
of it.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES: "White SUI
premacy has brought peace, progress
and prosperity to the entire South,
and the masses of the colored peo-
pie are, to-day, in far better condi-
ton than when they controlled pub
lie affairs in conjunction with the
carpet-bagger.'
Colfax Chronicle: eff we had but
one Judge in this District there would
be no loss of time occasioned at the
Court terms on account OF the Judges
failing to agree as to who should hold
the sitting. Let US have done with
this fifth wheel nonsense. It is q
ridiculous piece of business; and, in
truth, the extra judgship was only
created to furnish sinecure for the
ambitious politicians of our District"
The Marksville Bulletin, a McEnery
paper, says: "The issue is squarely
made between Gov McEnery and
Gen. Nichols. 1t is no use to say
that the candidates. of those gentle
men if persisted in might disrupt the
Democratic party, if that plea is made
the hope of a third man is destroyed.
The party will not divide however
heated the campaign may be. The
blows will rain thick and fast before
the convention assemblies, but once
that body has spoken the nominee
will be the choice of the people
Nobody is afraid that the party will
divide, and we say if fight there must
be, let it be hot and spirited"

Where Help is Needed.

every part OF the Union are IN Ian
gushing condition. In a few sections
are the profits of the farmers COM
mensurate with the capital, labor and
skill employed in their operations
The country has reached that stage
of development when the agricultural
products are far beyond the demands
for home consumption, and the ne
cessity for available markets outside
our own borders is keenly felt
It is plain that our farmers need
help Of some kind, but it is folly to
say that high tariff on foreign cot
ton, grain and hay would help them.
That could only be beneficial in case
their products were less than the de-
mand of our home consumers. 1t is
practically impossible to limit the
production of all the farm crops to
the wants of the country. Were
combinations and pools formed to
bring about such limitation, hun
dreds of thousands of farm laborers
would be thrown out of employment,
and the same troubles-only tenfold
greater-would be experienced that
have been so common of late with
mechanical and other laborers, in
connection with those interests and
industries that have been repressed
or limited as natural result of the
tariff and the combinations made to
secure to the fullest possible extent
its benefits.
IF all classes of citizens were mu-
tually and equally benefited by pro-
lection, the veriest tyro in political
economy would perceive that all
classes were equally taxed to secure
these benefits, and hence that the
burden of taxation would offset the
benefits. If real benefits accrue to
any class, it cannot be denied that
other classes have to suffer to that
extent. The farmers and planters are
not of the protected class, and they
pay for the benefit of the manufac-
turers aad others who belong to that
class many hundreds of millions of
dollars annually.
Suppose the Government needed
no revenues, it would be just as al
lowable to levy a direct tax on the
people to build up a manufacturing
aristocracy as it now is to levy pro-
tective tax to enable them to so in
crease the price of their products as
to levy direct tribute on the people.
The difference is only in name and
form. Reducing it to the last analy-
sis there is no difference. It is tax
ing from the pocket and labor of one
class of citizens for the direct bene-
fit of another class Of citizens. In
other words it is q violation of natu-
raj rights, orrobbery pure and simple,
under the sanction of law.
How long will this wrong con-
tinuef How long will it be before we
will have some measure of tariff re-
duction and reform that will serve
as an earnest of the emancipation
that must come sooner or later? It
is for the Fiftieth Congress to an
swer. All the help and protection
that our agricultural interests need
is relief from the grievious burdens
of unnecessary taxation for the ben
eft of the favored class.
